Currently, with so many commercial food companies selling ready-to-eat foods for the busy professional, nutrition science may be pushed to the wayside. For most of us, guidance is essential. This book is about the more logical and better substantiated nutritional practices and juried literature around the world, and its impact on health and disease.

The monograph is appropriate for use in a nutritional or an epidemiology course as well as for anyone who wants to better their own nutritional choices, their health, or lower their risk for certain diseases.

The author relates his holistic view of human health within this text. Holistic health has existed for many years in China as well as India, two great Asian civilizations that continue to this day. There is advocacy for the ordinary person to take back control of their daily nutrition and their overall health. Since some of the practices of manufacturing food companies seem to produce packaged foods which are not recommended by the World Health Organization, people need filtered knowledge and wisdom, to help them make informed decisions regarding the foods they are consuming.
